Mynor getting ready
to
apply scratch coat to the first stairway. I only use sand for an aggregate in plaster. Sand is lot stronger than lightweight aggregate. USG and Gold Bond say never use anything but a sand basecoat on metal lath. Q: Why do they call it a scratch coat ? A: I don't know. I think because of the scratching sound. |
